Since the inception of the Pennsylvania Film Office, about the time of Oscar®-winner The Deer Hunter, Pennsylvania has been selected as the location for more than 150 American feature films and a dozen or more international productions. Pennsylvania also has been the primary location for several series and made-for-TV movies, plus hundreds of documentaries, educational films and commercials.
Films made on location in Pennsylvania before the inception of the Pennsylvania
Film Office in 1977 include Rocky, The Last of the Red Hot Lovers, The Molly
Maguires, The Blob, Angels in the Outfield, and more. Remember Pearl White tied
to the railroad trestle in Perils of Pauline? That was PA, too.
On Sudden Death: "I thought the pressure to find at least 500 to 600 extras a day for five days was going to crush me. You can't even imagine my relief when roughly 1,000 people showed up ready to work every day." - Scott Currie, Location Scout
